Taking it starting point in what Chantal Mouffe has called Europe's "populist moment" this article investigates the Polish feminist mass-movement called The Black Protests. Although its initial outburst was a reaction against a law proposal for a further restriction of the country‟s already strict abortion laws, it quickly gained momentum and grew into a larger popular struggle for democracy, both nationally and internationally, in Europe and beyond. Drawing on the theories of Ernesto Laclau and Joan Scott, the article investigates how the movement swiftly began to articulate a broad range of different political demands, as well as how such demands were effectively communicated and distributed online through affectively laden slogans and images across national borders. Based on this, the article argues on the one hand that the movement follows a "populist logic of articulation", but also how it, through "solidarity echoes" inscribe their struggle both backward in time to previous feminist struggles, and to feminist struggles in other parts of the world. Such solidarity echoes, in turn, constitutes a crucial element for the present transnational feminist movement – a movement that today offers a significant counterforce to existing trends of rightwing populism, illiberalism and authoritarianism on both sides of the Atlantic. |

Tomando como punto de partida lo que Chantal Mouffe ha llamado el "momento populista" de Europa, este artículo estudia al movimiento feminista polaco llamado Las Protestas Negras. Aunque su estallido inicial fue una reacción contra un proyecto de ley para restringir aún más las ya estrictas leyes de aborto del país, rápidamente cobró impulso y se convirtió en una lucha popular por la democracia, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, en Europa y más allá. Basado en las teorías de Ernesto Laclau y Joan Scott, el artículo investiga cómo el movimiento comenzó rápidamente a articular una amplia gama de diferentes demandas políticas, así como la forma en que esas demandas se extendieron por internet, apelando a eslóganes e imágenes cargadas de emoción a través de las fronteras nacionales. Sobre esta base, el artículo muestra, por un lado, que el movimiento sigue una "lógica populista de articulación", pero también cómo, a través de los "ecos de solidaridad" inscribe su lucha tanto en las luchas feministas anteriores como en las luchas feministas contemporáneas en otras partes del mundo. Esos ecos de solidaridad constituyen, a su vez, un elemento crucial para el actual movimiento feminista transnacional, un movimiento que hoy en día ofrece un importante contrapeso a las tendencias existentes de populismo de derechas, antiliberalismo y autoritarismo a ambos lados del Atlántico. Tomando como ponto de partida o que Chantal Mouffe chamou o "momento populista da Europa", este artigo analisa o movimento feminista polaco chamado os Protestos Negros. Embora o seu surto inicial fosse uma reacção contra um projecto de lei para restringir ainda mais as já rigorosas leis abortivas do país, rapidamente ganhou ímpeto e tornou-se uma luta popular pela democracia, tanto a nível nacional como internacional, na Europa e fora dela. Baseando-se nas teorias de Ernesto Laclau e Joan Scott, o artigo investiga como o movimento rapidamente começou a articular uma vasta gama de diferentes exigências políticas, bem como como essas exigências se espalharam pela Internet, apelando a slogans e imagens emocionalmente carregadas através das fronteiras nacionais. Nesta base, o artigo mostra, por um lado, que o movimento segue uma "lógica populista de articulação", mas também como, através de "ecos de solidariedade", inscreve a sua luta tanto em lutas feministas anteriores como em lutas feministas contemporâneas em outras partes do mundo. Estes ecos de solidariedade são, por sua vez, um elemento crucial para o actual movimento feminista transnacional, um movimento que hoje oferece um contrapeso importante às tendências existentes de populismo de direita, iliberalismo e autoritarismo de ambos os lados do Atlântico.
